After enjoying an excellent coffee at the Bedford Hill Coffee Bar in Bedford-Stuyvesant, we decided to walk the 1.7 miles to Brooklyn Museum, neat Prospect Park.
Running until the 16th Oct 2011 is the ‘Australian Landscape’ outside the British Museum in central London.
Created in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the landscape ‘showcases the rich biodiversity of Australia, and how these fragile systems are under threat from land usage and climate change.’
If you’re not up for all that eco-stuff, then it’s still a pleasant little stroll, with some curious plants scattered about for your attention.
Well worth a visit is the Museum of London’s ‘London street photography’ exhibition, showing over 200 candid street scenes from 1860 to the present day.
Standing rather forlornly on a barge at the end of a Manhattan jetty on New York’s west side is retired British Airways Concorde aircraft, number G-BOAD.
One of the world’s biggest urban history museums, the Museum of London has over two million objects in its collection and holds the largest archaeological archive in Europe.
I love this place – parts of it feel like you’ve stepped into an untouched Edwardian gallery of curiosities, while other parts are as high tech as anything you’ll find in a modern museum.

This is only on until the 5th of April, so get down to the British Museum sharpish if you want to check out some superb political posters from the great age of Mexican printmaking.
We paid another visit a few weeks back and checked out all the indoor galleries we missed last time.
They’ve currently got a great pop culture exhibition there, and after we’ve finished stuffing our faces with lovely Welsh cakes, we had a look around the Celtic village.
It’s easily one of our favourite museums in the UK.
